They are day / night cameras. I just want to light up the rear portion of my property. Its pretty far and is pretty much all dark. I know I will not be able to identify people by their face at that distance, just want to be able to see something moving around at night.

If they are day/night, and their own IR LEDs just aren't bright enough, then you can pick up any IR floodlight from Amazon or wherever and light it up. I don't have a specific recommendation, but maybe try to get one that tuns off during the day. It probably won't save a ton of power, but there's no sense being wasteful.
